9. Solar Panel Install
1. Sol-Ark 8K has 2 separate pairs of solar panel inputs.
(Dual MPPT)
2. Use the chart to the right to determine how many strings of
panels and how many panels per string can be installed. This chart
is only a guide, other panel types and configurations can be
compatible if within system specifications.
3. Max PV input:
11,000W(+/- 5%) per system (6,000W per MPPT) PV = 500Voc Max
Note: Damage will occur if PV Voc > 550V.
4. Connect the strings of solar panels to the system as shown on
pages 9/10.
5. Each pair of strings, PV1A/B and PV2A/B, must be the same
voltage if both are used (see Fig. E).
6. Panel frame grounding can be done to any ground in the home
via 12AWG wire. Mounts usually bond frames together, so only 1
ground wire is needed.
Note: Max Panels in Series:
60 Cell: 10 72 Cell: 9 96 Cell: 5

(60 or 72 cell Panels, 305W/Panel or less)
